I had a blog. It was about me and my family and the stuff we did. My Mom loved it (Hi Mom!) and I enjoyed posting to it but it has set un-updated for nearly a year.
I'd like this blog to be different. I mean I am still a Mom so many of my posts will inevitably revolve around parenting but I'm also a Wife, a Daughter, a Friend and a Child of God. This blog will (hopefully) chronicle my journey as I explore a new life philosophy: Give Up, Lift Up, Free Up.
Give Up. Give up control to God. Over circumstances, decisions, finances... everything.
Lift Up. Lift up prayers, requests and most importantly praises and thanks to God. Lift up my life, my family, my everything.
Free Up. Free up my energy and my time from worry. Placing control of my life in God's hands I will be freed up to be the me He has created me to be. No worry, no fear. Me.
I am terrified! But I'm hopeful. I'm ready. I'm determined. The name of my blog "Looking Up" has a three-fold meaning. First to be a more uplifting and encouraging force to those around me. Second as a reminder to look to Christ for everything in my life; grace, provision, gratitude. And lastly because I have two little sweethearts who are "looking up" to me for guidance, example, discipline, love and more than anything I want to model Christ's life and love for them.
Pray for me. Pray with me. In Christ Alone.
